"This game cannot be launched"

Question

"This game cannot be launched"

I have a 160 iPod classic. I tried using the Klondike game and I got "This game cannot be launched." I recieved this message once or twice in the past and I was able to exit out of it by pressing "Menu." Tonight I pressed "Menu" and NOTHING! I cannot get to the menu, I cannot turn off the iPod--nada. I even tried plugging it into my computer and I still cannot get out of the "This game cannot be launched screen." And my iPod is not even close to being at capacity.

What can I do to fix this? And why does it do this in the first place?

160 iPod classic, Windows XP

Try to reset the iPod by holding menu and the middle button at the same time until the apple logo appears. If this does not work let the battery die and when you start to charge it the iPod should be better.

i have the exact same problem! and it happened with the same game too. i did everything you did and i can't find any topics on this. i already tried reseting my ipod and it doesn't work. i don't really want to wait for my ipod's battery to die. and also i don't have a 160 i have an 80 but when i last checked i still had like 64 gigs left on my ipod so i can't be full.

The same happend to me trying to start iPod Quiz.

Got a message stating that my iPod is probably full (50Gb free...)
and then froze completely. The song that was currently played continued to the end and then: nothing...

Reseting the iPod pressing "Menu & center key" worked for me though.
